Connect - Sandbox Data Masking Framework

**Background**

As sandbox data masking requirements need to be implemented across products, a standardized process for defining, documenting, approving, and implementing masking requirements is required. Product teams, Platform, and SRE require a consistent approach to ensure masking decisions are traceable, auditable, and repeatable.

**Objective**

Establish a standardized framework for sandbox data masking, including roles and responsibilities, documentation standards, and a centralized repository for product-specific masking inventories.

**Scope**

- [x] Define roles and responsibilities for Platform, Product teams, and SRE.
- [x] Establish the process for identifying and approving data requiring masking.
- [x] Define the required inputs for SRE implementation.
- [x] Create a standard masking inventory template.
- [x] Create a centralized and access-controlled repository for masking documentation.
- [x] Define implementation workflow
- [x] Create sandbox data masking guidance document

**Proposed Responsibility Model**

**Platform**

- Owns governance and process.
- Maintains standards, templates, and repository.
- Coordinates implementation across products.

**Product Teams**

- Identify and classify product-specific data.
- Provide table/field mappings.
- Define product-specific masking requirements.
- Approve masking decisions.

**SRE**

- Defines implementation requirements.
- Builds and operates masking jobs.
- Supports automation and ongoing maintenance.

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the proposed responsibility model and checked scope items, then confirm that the framework defines roles, approval and implementation inputs, an inventory template, a controlled repository, and masking guidance.
